Portfolio overview

Meter Group, Inc. USA has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2019 and 2023, placing Meter Group, Inc. USA at rank #41,572 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Meter Group, Inc. USA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Meter sits between MESA Photonics, Llc (6 patents, rank #41,568) and MFB Fertility, Inc. (6 patents, rank #41,576) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.6/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 5 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +400% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.

Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Meter Group, Inc. USA's 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Meter Group, Inc. USA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
